Abstract

This paper describes to extend the MLFMA(Multi-Level Fast Multipole Algorithm) for three-dimensional capacitance computation in the case of conductors embedded in an arbitrary dielectric medium. The triangular meshes are used and refined in the area which has heavy charge density. This technique is applied to the capacitance extraction of three-dimensional structures with multiple dielectrics. The results show good convergence with the comparable accuracy, and this adaptive technique coupled with MLFMA is useful to reduce computing time and the number of elements with least additional computational efforts in large three dimensional problems.

본 논문에서는 유전체층을 가진 3차원 도체의 정전용량 계산을 위한 적응요소 MLFMA을 제안하였다. 고속화 알고리즘인 MLFMA와 더불어 높은 전하밀도를 가지는 영역에서 삼자요소를 세분화함으로써 효율적으로 요소를 분할하게 된다. 제안된 기법은 유전체 층위의 3차원 도체의 정전용량을 계산하는데 적용되어 균일한 요소에 의한 계산결과의 수렴보다 빠른 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 3차원의 복잡한 구조를 가진 문제의 해석에 있어서도 과도한 추가계산시간을 요구하지 않으므로, 제안된 방법을 MLFMA의 장점에 부합되는 적절한 기법이라 할 수 있다.
